They spent the rest of the day unpacking. Initially Sirius, Remus, and Snape unpacked manually until Harry glared at them. Even Snape seemed to be affected by the death glare he recognized from Lily. Harry smiled, and vowed to use it more often if they gave him any real trouble.

It was quiet except for the stray laughs Harry could hear coming from the trio's room. Although he didn't know how they got together, Harry still needed to ask, he was happy to see both Remus and Sirius so carefree. After two wars and the deaths of their best friends, as well as Sirius going to Azkaban , they both deserved every bit of happiness.

That didn't stop Harry from feeling a bit envious, though. He was not envious that they had Snape. No way! Never envious of that. Snape was nice enough, but so not Harry's type. He was envious because he wanted someone who loved him as much as they loved each other. He wanted someone to laugh with as they unpacked in their new home. He wanted someone he could cuddle with at night, and not just make love with. That was why he became a Muggle. He'd may perform magic again, but he would find something that was more valuable then magic. He refused to settle for anything less than love.

Not feeling like going out, they had pizza delivered for dinner that night, since Sirius had never tried it before. . He moaned appreciatively and Remus commented about how he made the same sounds when his mouth was full of cock.

Harry choked on the pizza that was in his mouth as he coughed uncontrollably. Remus blushed, forgetting that Harry, even though he wasn't a minor anymore, was not used to hearing Remus talk like that.

Sirius chuckled finding Harry's expression hilarious while Snape massaged his forehead, questioning why he put up with these two morons.

Harry laughed about the situation when he could finally breathe and spent the rest of the night teasing Remus about his foul mouth.

The next day they dedicated to exploring New York. Although Snape had gone to America with Lucius one time, they had stayed in the wizarding part of California. After much debating, they decided to check out Central Park in the middle of Manhattan. After making sure they had enough American money, they decided it would be better to call a taxi then make the long walk to the tube. Remus tried first, putting up his hand, but nothing happened. A taxi did not even slow down. He stepped into the street to try to get a driver's attention, hoping that the taxi coming his way would slow down.

Snape jerked him out of the way, before the car could hit him when the driver refused to stop. He whirled the werewolf around to face him. "Are you fucking out of your mind? Obviously the driver wasn't going to stop. When you see a car coming at you, move out of the way. Don't just stand there," the potion master screamed, breathing heavily .

Harry's eyebrows rose. He had never seen the Potions master show so much emotion. I guess love will do that to you.

"Sev, I'm sorry," Remus said gently. "I thought that would work."

Snape pulled Remus's into a bruising kiss and the werewolf opened his mouth pliant, giving into Snape's domination. Sirius whined that he was feeling left out of the action. Harry blushed with embarrassed at all of the attention they were receiving, some stared with disgust while others looked on with desire. Harry cleared his loudly throat , startling the two away from each other.

Remus smiled sheepishly as Snape pulled Sirius into a kiss that was just as hard, but a lot shorter, in order to avoid any more embarrassment. For that, Harry would be eternally grateful.

Making sure the rest of them were on the pavement and out of harm's way, Snape stepped off the curb. He was going to show Remus how it was done. When he saw a taxi coming their way, he put his thumb and first finger to his mouth and let out a loud whistle that made Harry wince at the shrill sound of it. It had the desired effect and a taxi quickly pulled over to the pavement. Snape sat up front due to his long legs while Remus, Harry, and Sirius squished in the back. All in all, it was a very uncomfortable ride.

They couldn't arrive at Central Park fast enough. Harry was extremely eager to get out and get a breath of fresh air. Harry ran a bit ahead of his companions, eager to see everything he could. For once, he wanted to be normal and not think about the loss he was suffering.

At the entrance, Harry stopped when he saw a Muggle vehicle he had never seen before.

"They're similar to the carriage rides they have here, except they cover more distance. It's like a taxi service. It's a way to sight see through the park. It's definitely faster than walking," Snape said looking in the direction of the pedicabs.

Harry convinced them that they would be able to see more of the park so they rented two of them since they could only hold two people. Snape was ready to sit with either Remus or Sirius, which he would definitely not mind, but was surprised when Harry asked to share a pedicab with him. Sirius seemed just as surprised if his eyebrows going up to the hairline were any indication. Remus didn't even show mild shock.

They were silent as they took in the sights. Snape had the barest hint of a smile. He would never admit it out loud, but it was nice seeing Harry act like the kid he was never allowed to be in the past. Harry's eyes were glued to the boathouse as they passed and Snape made a mental note to tell the other two. Although they all wanted to see the sights, the lovers had agreed to focus on Harry for today. They didn't care about where they went ,they just wanted Harry to have a good time.

"I'm glad you agreed to come with me," Harry said, jarring Snape out of his thoughts.

"You are?"

"Of course, I know we've been polite to one another so far, but if you're planning to stay with Remus and Sirius, we should be more than just polite. We should be friends."

"How about we start over then with a brand new slate?"

Harry grinned widely before sticking out his hand "Hello, my name is Harry Potter."

Snape gripped the smaller hand in his. "I'm Severus Snape, call me Severus. It's nice to meet you."

Remus and Sirius were making out while the driver looked on in amusement. Harry shook his head in exasperation. Honestly! They were acting like a couple of teenagers. He would expect that from Sirius, but not from Remus. They finally managed to pull themselves away from each other. "Hey." Remus mumbled sheepishly.

"Hey," Harry mimicked.

"Where to?" Sirius asked, not even trying to act embarrassed.

"How about the boathouse? I noticed Harry eying it in interest."

"I was that noticeable?" Severus nodded in response. They chose a rowboat, so they could all share it making it an enjoyable experience. Severus was proficient when it came to using an oar, but he was the only one. They ended up going in circles more than anything. Also, Sirius being Sirius lost his oar in the lake. He leant over and reached for it, ignoring Severus who was trying to stop him. Harry smiled sheepishly at the manager of the boathouse as he eyed the dripping wet Sirius.

A girl brought a towel which Sirius gratefully took and dried off, ignoring her blatant flirting. Severus couldn't ignore though and in a show of possessiveness, he plunged his tongue in Sirius's mouth, forcing him to yield to his hungry mouth. The girl blushed, bright red and hurried away. Sirius panted as Severus pulled away, only now noticing that Remus and Harry had both walked ahead.

They decided to get an early lunch at an express café. Afterwards, they spent some time walking around the park, and spent a short time in "The Ramble," a wild garden, but it wasn't as interesting as some of the other sites so they moved on.

They saw the carousel, which Sirius was way too eager to ride in Harry's opinion. Sirius didn't stop pouting until they agreed to one ride. Severus didn't stop complaining about dunderheads who refused to grow up, the whole ride, but it was still fun. After the ride, they decided to see what else Manhattan offered.

Harry knew that both Severus and Remus enjoyed the arts, but neither would ever suggest it. That's why Harry took the initiative and suggested going to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Sirius seemed a bit disappointed, but Harry never had a chance to explore this type of stuff before, and he didn't mind expanding his horizons a bit.

Most of it didn't hold Harry's interest too long, but he was happy to see Remus and Severus enjoying themselves. What Harry did find interesting was the Greek and Roman art collection as well as the Medieval art collection. Harry didn't understand why he found them so interesting, but he enjoyed himself.

The roof garden was a must see in Remus's opinion and when they arrived, Harry had to agree with the werewolf. The view was breathtaking and they were able to get a drink to quench their thirst at the garden café.

As they left, only really browsing as the museum was much too large to explore in only a couple of hours, Harry smiled as Remus and Severus chatted rapidly and Sirius pouted at being left out of the conversation. Harry nudged his godfather's side and was wrapped up in a hug.

Sirius was really anxious to see the Rockefeller Center, so they made that their next stop. This time, everyone enjoyed themselves and there were no mishaps or sullen faces. They learned about the history of the center, and Harry mentioned wanting to hear some Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra, since their names came up often. Severus assured him that he had some music of both entertainers.

They also enjoyed visiting The RCA and, being able to see most of the network New York studios

!#$

It was already late afternoon, so they decided that after one more place theywould get dinner and then go back to their townhouse After a vote, they decided to visit Times Square.

Harry remembered every New Year's Eve before he turned eleven. His aunt and uncle allowed Dudley to stay up and welcome the New Year, even though he was forced into the cupboard to go to sleep. He never did though. His eyes stayed open and he listened to all of singers through the walls. When the infamous ball was getting ready to drop, he remembered silently counting down with the woman on the telly: 10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1…and then nothing.

In his mind, he knew what happened, but he never got to see it. After he got his Hogwarts' letter, he always stayed at the school during the holidays and it wasn't like they had a telly he could watch it on. When casually mentioning that he never watched the ball drop on the telly, Remus promised that they'd watch it in person this coming New Year's eve, even if they had to resort to using magic to accomplish it.

All of them were starving since they hadn't eaten anything since their early lunch. In Greenwich Village, not too far away from their townhouse there was a place called Miracle Grill. Not knowing ideas where to go to get good food, they decided it that would be a good place to start. after yet another uncomfortable ride they sighed in relief when they finally reached the restaurant.

The outside wasn't impressive , but the food was decent. Harry wouldn't mind eating there again

They were all exhausted and decided to call it a night, all of them barely having time to change out of their clothes before collapsing onto the bed.
